Similar to years past, the Dodgers waited until the closing hours of the 2018 non-waiver deadline to make multiple additions to the player roster. To compliment its move two weeks ago in gaining Manny Machado, the club acquired infielder Brian Dozier from the Twins and righty reliever John Axford from the Blue Jays on Tuesday.
In the deal for Dozier, the Dodgers reportedly sent infielder Logan Forsythe, first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley, and righty pitcher Devin Smeltzer to Minnesota. Furthermore, it was also reported that there was no money exchanged between the two clubs.
